MORAL TEACHING IN SCHOOLS A man who is much interested in Harrisburg edu cational matters as well as in educational affairs in general, believes there should be more systematic efforts made in directing the minds of pupils toward cleaner thinking and cleaner living. He thinks more should be done to improve the moral tone of pupils in our schools and that there should be a regularly prescribed course, with text books, to teach good morals to school children. The military system in schools is objected to by this man, who. by the way, spent much of his youth in Germany. He says that while the German mili tary \raining in the schools teaches loyalty to nation' it overdoes the thing in that it tends to create in the pupils' minds more regard for lighting efficiency than for the higher ideals of human life. _ Yet he recognizes the merit the German system has in that it sets up au ideal aud systematically directs the minds of the children toward it. In other words he believes the system is all right but not the ideal, and this suggests to his mind that if a similar system were employed in this country, but directed toward a different ideal,—that is to ward better morals rather than toward military efficiency.—the school children of America would make far better men and women. In our opinion the public school teachers of this city and this country, as a class, are persons who individually have a very good influence which they freely exert over their pupils. In many instances they do more to shape the morals of the children than do the parents. Yet it seems to be true that there is not any very systematic method in force here of teaching the ethics of right living to school children. Systematic training along these lines must, of course, be based on general principles of morality rather than ou the tenets of any particular creed or religious denomination, but nevertheless the suggestion ought to prove practical. Perhaps a combination of the German system of training, with the military ideal left out. directed toward the ideals that individual American teach- j ers endeavor, in an unorganized sort of way. to set • up for their pupils, might till the need which the gentleman referred to believes to exist. NOT ALL SPARROWS ARE HARMFUL Although sparrows are not always well thought j of among persons who are accustomed to peace aud quiet, the information comes in a Farmers' Bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture that there are forty or more species of North Amer \ jean sparrows which are helpful, not harmful, and should be protected, not outlawed. Burroughs has said that the English sparrows are street eauiins while ours are timid rustics. The definite difference is that the English birds are , aoisy and quarrelsome, while members of the Amer- ! k*an species are unobtrusive. Another example of superiority of native products over foreign varie ties, it seems. The impudent sparrows which make their living in Capitol Park by darting in front of deserving pigeons and snatching peanuts aud other delica cies which do not by right belong to them, are enough to prejudice almost anyone against the English species. Donations of carefully shelled . peanuts are meant for the handsome pigeons which ! always repay their benefactors by exhibitions of strutting,—delightful because of awkwardness.— , and flying.—attractive because of gracefulness. The i contemptible little sparrows can do nothing them- I \ * . ■ • \i"-; / ' HARRTSBtTRG STAR-INDEPENDENT, SATURDAY EVENING. MAROII 6, 1915 solves to earn peanuts. and their intrusions on the rights of the pigeons cannot but rile the dispensers of the morsels. The American birds, on the other hand, have retiring dispositions and are not on especially fa miliar terms with the general public; but although they are seldom noticed, they may be found in prac tically every part of the country, we are told, and there may be as many as half a dozen varieties in one locality. It will be well for the farmers, in particular, to get acquainted with these uative creatures, who are beneficial to the crops, according to the govern ment investigators, because they feed on insects, including many injurious beetles, as well as on grass ami weed seeds. CRIMINALS OF DIFFERENT KINDS A New York judge who has presided at a thou sand criminal trials and has tut,tie a study of the psychology of criminals has placed offenders against society in three classifications: Institutive crimi nals. whose offenses are habitual; occasional crim inals. who do wrong because they are tempted, and criminals who are mentally defective, lie asserts that because the inmates of State prisons represent these different types, the theory of a prisoner's republic within prison walls under present condi tions will not produce beneficial results, and that what is needed is the segregation of the instinctive from the occasional criminals. The former, he de clares. resist all processes designed for their reform while tfte latter are more docile and might with benefit be trusted to govern themselves. It certainly sounds logical that the inmates of prisons on whom attempts at reform have possibil ties of doing the most good are the occasional crim inals.—the unfortunates who are not hopelessly wicked but who, like the Rev. Mr. Holies in Steven son's ''The Rajah's Diamond," are subjected to temptations which their wills are too weak to resist. The methods of reform to be applied to such pris oners. of course, have to differ from those aimed at the habitual criminals if they are to be effective. The suggestion that these two classes be separated as the first step toward effectual reform, although it may or may not be practicable, is worthy of con sideration.
